I think this one is a "feature" because people complained about not being 
able to undo the "show desktop" once they restored (unminimized) an 
application. (To be honest, I've been annoyed by that at times, too.) But 
just undoing it immediately as soon as you restore an application doesn't 
sound like a great solution to me, IMHO, it just makes things worse. (What 
I'd do is to mark the state by showing a pressed button, then if you re-
click it while in "pressed" state, always treat it as "Undo 'Show Desktop'", 
i.e., restore all the windows that "Show Desktop" minimized and that are 
still minimized, ignore the rest. That's how I'd expect such a toggle to 
work.)
